The Walking Dead’s Six-Year Jump Brings in the Whisperers

Warning: Full spoilers for The Walking Dead episode “Who Are You Now?” follow…

Hey, new things! We like new things, right? For the most part?

Acting a bit more like the smaller time jump from the middle of Season 6 (which kicked off in “The New World” and featured Rick and Michonne’s conscious coupling) and less like the big year and a half we just skipped over coming into Season 9, “Who Are You Now? featured a remix of Alexandria – with some of the changes landing better than others.

It’s been six years. Arguably, given that amount of time, which was mostly used to age up Judith and Henry (who’s still hella annoying, just much bigger), a lot more should have happened. Honestly, aside from the kids growing up, this could have easily been a two or three year jump given the gravitas of the changes. They weren’t all that big, all things considered. The most surprising element here was that Alexandria and The Kingdom were still standing and that these folks were all still in it. When have we ever known anyone in this universe to last in a place this long? These characters all got a pass because if the cameras had kept rolling, just for the sake of drama, everything would have gone to s***. The jump allowed them a reprieve, of sorts.

WWE Old School PPV Review: Survivor Series 1987

WWE’s next major PPV, Survivor Series, is right around the corner, coming to the WWE Network on Sunday, November 18. The event is one of the major PPVs for WWE, right alongside Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, and Summerslam, and it’s also one of the oldest.

Survivor Series began back on November 26, 1987 with a simple idea: have four tag team matches where contestants are eliminated until only one team is left standing. The 1987 Survivor Series came in at 2 hours and 44 minutes for the matches and a whole bunch of weird interviews and segments.

Considering GameSpot’s Mat Elfring and Chris E. Hayner review each current WWE PPV, we thought it would be a good idea to take a time machine 31 years in the past to watch this show on the WWE Network, and review it like it just recently aired. Because they were only four matches at this event, we decided to discuss some of the segments and interviews that took place because they are bonkers in their own right.

Here’s the card for Survivor Series 1987 before we kick things off:

Match 1

Team 1: Brutus Beefcake, Jake Roberts, Jim Duggan, Randy Savage, and Ricky Steamboat

Team 2: Dangerous Danny Davis, Harley Race, Hercules, The Honky Tonk Man, and Ron Bass

Match 2

Team 1: The Fabulous Moolah, Itsuki Yamazaki, Noriyo Tateno, Rockin’ Robin, and Velvet McIntyre

Team 2: Dawn Marie, Donna Christanello, Leilani Kai, Judy Martin, and Sensational Sherri

Match 3

Team 1: The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid), The Killer Bees (B. Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell), The Fabulous Rougeaus (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau), Strike Force (Rick Martel and Tito Santana), and The Young Stallions (Jim Powers and Paul Roma)

Team 2: The Bolsheviks (Boris Zhukov and Nikolai Volkoff), Demolition (Ax and Smash), The Dream Team (Dino Bravo and Greg Valentine), The Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart), and The Islanders (Haku and Tama)

Match 4

Team 1: André the Giant, Butch Reed, King Kong Bundy, One Man Gang, and Rick Rude

Team 2: Bam Bam Bigelow, Don Muraco, Hulk Hogan, Ken Patera, and Paul Orndorff

Make sure to come back to GameSpot on Sunday, November 18 for live coverage of this year’s PPV and a review of that show as well.

Here’s Why You Won’t See Maggie in Tonight’s Walking Dead

This interview contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 9, episode 5, “What Comes After.” AMC also released a preview teaser for the next three episodes, which you can watch below.

The Walking Dead pulled off an emotional farewell to Rick Grimes in “What Comes After,” but it won’t be the last we see of Andrew Lincoln, after Rick survived the destruction of the bridge and was taken to an unknown location by Anne. We’ll find out what’s next for Rick in a series of movies written by Walking Dead chief content officer Scott Gimple (and we have some ideas about what the films should be about), but since the show must go on without him, IGN caught up with showrunner Angela Kang to discuss the many twists of episode 5 – including the surprising fact that it was apparently also Lauren Cohan’s final appearance as Maggie this season, despite the show giving no indication of that fact narratively.
